Revenged Love

Best BL in 2025 ~~ so far ?

I've finally finished this, and I'm obsessed!! So this is going to be a very long review ... Buckle up!!

I have to point out that I haven't read the novel so I had no idea what to expect story-wise, and despite being one of the few Chinese BLs I've watched that openly shows the BL part ( not bromance in disguise) I believe it hides more than it shows and the main story must have tonnes of other details that was cut from the series so I plan to read the book later, but for now this review is only about the show, if it's lacking then my bad ~
*I may or may not update it after reading the novel*

Now back to the review ~

Story:
I loved it, it has everything, it was slow at first with many twists and turns but every few episodes you are faced with a new challenge that keeps you interested and invested in the story.
You can't find one dull moment, the interactions between all the cast is beautiful, even Chi Cheng and Xiao Shuai!! Call me a sadist but I loved every scene Chi Cheng was bullying Xiao Shuai or intimidates him, even the rivalry between Chi Cheng and Cheng Yu.
What I didn't like was how random everything was happening, direction was a mess and it's obvious that it was heavily edited, no idea why or if it was necessary but the overall quality of the whole series is below bar, raised only by the interesting story and great cast, but the transition is absolutely terrible.

Also at some points I think they did the two leads dirty.
Sou Wei with his mother's arc, and Chi Cheng with the whole revenge/jealousy/misunderstanding part that parallels with the former. I won't say much but I hate when two people so in love yet can't manage to do basic human interaction which is "talking" ... But this is a very specific matter that I hate personally.

Cast:
The whole cast is spectacular! I'm not saying acting was Oscar worthy, but the chemistry, guys!!! The chemistry between every👏single👏 character👏is👏 FIRE!!! 🔥
just name any two characters, I even loved Sou Wei and Chi Cheng's dad scenes together 😂
I'm serious!! Those people are comfortable together!! They are friends behind the scenes and it shows!!
I wish I can watch Tian Xu Ning and Zhan Xuan in another drama 😂 those two were the best Frenemies I've even seen in a BL and I loved them here very much!! I don't care what their roles are I want to see them interacting together, I can watch them for hours and I wouldn't get bored!
And I may be crazy but I literally shipped everyone with everyone, the two tops?? Shipped! Exchanged partners? Shipped, even the two brothers ? Shipped 🤣 that's how bad I enjoyed all the characters together.
On the other hands, aside from the two main characters every other couple story is very underdeveloped, Cheng Yu and Xiao Shuai story was very abrupt, the two brothers story was vague and unclear what was going on or what might go on in the future, while there are other scenes that added nothing to the story and could be easily removed and add some clarifying scenes, also the end is like Boom! A sudden finish, it was so random, I wish they added something aside from just ending it like that, any hint for the work/relationship, parents acceptance or anything that indicates how are they going to live in the future.
Even Cheng Yu and Xiao Shuai had better closure 😂
Underdeveloped story with good end VS excessively explored story with abrupt end!

Characters:
As I said the cast were fantastic, which mirrors how we loved the characters too, Chi Cheng is the worst character I can even dream of meeting IRL yet! He is the best ever, very kind, lovable, cute and surprisingly obedient 🤣🤣
And not just towards Sou Wei, but also Cheng Yu, his BFF and his sister, it shows that he's not "only listens to his husband" type ... But genuinely listens to people who he loves and know they love him back.
My favourite characters has to be Cheng Yu, sorry everyone, but I love how flirty and very smart he is, cause let's face it... SW and XS are dumb and dumber compared to others also they are easily manipulated, maybe SW more than XS, he is kinda smart tbh and CC simply had so many hints but couldn't put two and two together, Wang shou was too destructive for my taste.
So for me, the one that shines the most as the smartest with the most mischievous ideas is my man, Cheng Yu ❣️❣️

I don't know what else to say, I will miss this drama, if you like BL then put this on the top of your list, it was fun, fluffy, sad, dramatic, sexy, hot, cute, suspenseful... It was a collection of emotions in it you don't want to miss ~~

Highly recommended ❣️

speechless ❤️

when I just completed to watch this series, I was so fulfilled and satisfied with all the feelings this series gave me. There are very rare series which make a lasting impression on you, and this is 1 of that.
I don't think it was anything special to fell in love with a series, if it's Chinese bl, but the uncensorship got me. The way when actors eyes speak and it reaches to heart of audience, it always makes me feel special about those acting.

Apart from story and acting, the actors were eye candy for me. I specially took so long before dropping review but still getting tongue- tied, I rarely behave like this...lol. But this is really beautiful and awesome to even pen my feelings.

I highly, absolutely recommend this, if u have not watched it till now, which is definitely rare😂. Because everyone was watching in priority even painfully waiting for every week. But the future bl lovers can definitely watch it, and believe me, you are lucky, as u don't have to wait for next episode.

I am definitely gonna rewatch it innumerable times, so let's meet randomly in comment, reels, etc in future, my fellow bl lovers🥂

build up done right

this show had some silly moments (I feel that basically all Chinese shows I’ve watched falls into a pit of filler episodes where the realistic story goes off the rails and some odd things happen, here when the Wang brothers came I was a little like, okay this is ridiculous) but it was overall done well. the beginning was a bit slow but I loved how we did get a realistic build up of the two playing basketball and slowly getting to know each other. also the ost is so good (especially loved the English songs included in the soundtrack)!!

maybe a tad too much focus on the snakes though lol

100% Emotionally Compromised

Revenged Love is not your average BL drama, it’s a masterclass in emotional manipulation, slow-burn chemistry, and character transformation. Wu Suo Wei, scorned by his wealthy ex-girlfriend, sets out on a revenge mission by seducing her new boyfriend, Chi Cheng. What starts as a calculated game spirals into a tangled web of genuine feelings, power plays, and emotional vulnerability.

If Revenged Love had been pulled due to content, it would’ve been a tragedy. This series doesn’t just push boundaries, it redefines them. It’s sexy, smart, and emotionally devastating in all the right ways. And yes, we NEED another season. Because we’re not done being ruined by Chi Wei.

i have never been more emotionally attached to a bl.
this show has it's flaws, some worse than others, but i think it just adds to the charm.
the casting is PERFECT. i truly couldn't think of better actors to play these characters. the chemistry is so strong, not only between the couples, but between all the characters. their interactions felt so natural.
a hats off to tian xuning especially. chi cheng may be troubled, but he knows how to keep a show entertaining. incredible work.
the plot twists and turns in all sorts of ridiculous ways and some things just didn't make sense. i can't leave a review without speaking on my gripes with the 7-8 episodes worth of misunderstandings, lack of communication, and unreasonable drama. i just choose to blame wang shuo and pretend it didn't happen. nevertheless, it's so hard to not love this series. i'll absolutely be revisiting. so much kudos to everyone who worked on it.

A Comedic, Stressful and Intriguing Therapy—All in One Drama

Started this because of the hype, and the BTS scenes that flooded my fyp. I initially though that I'd get bored since it has 24 episodes—and I just came back from watching lots of JBL dramas which are commonly short series.

However, this drama kept me hooked up with every scene and dialogue. All actors acted very well, and the scenes are well-executed.

TXN’s eyes are speaking to me through the screen. And his acting really gave life to CC’s “badass but soft for WSW” character. And of course, Ziyu is all but boring. He embodied WSW and gave color to the series with his comedic and dramatic expressions.

The second couple, my XuanXuan couple is also very fun to watch. Their story also intrigued me, and had me kicking my feet in the air. Their chemistry is very very well-used here.

Moreover, I loved the reconciliation part of WS. Although I initially hated his character, I later on understood the complexity of his actions. He is not the typical flat villain that just keeps on getting bad every episode—he had that comedic and stressful tone too.

I must say, this drama is a total must-rewatch. I'll definitely do when I have the time again.
